I'm particularly fond of his "Minesweeper" game that has the ability to
generate guaranteed-solvable puzzles (every bit as challenging as a
regular Mines game, but without the chance that you'll actually be truly
forced to guess).
Simon Tatham, of course, is also the author of PuTTY.
Also, I discovered the "divide-and-conquer" method for counting the
number of set bits in a bit-vector by looking through the sources for
"Mines".
